The recent fall-out of the economy showed us that nothing is certain. The reality is, life isn’t easy—but that doesn’t mean we should give up on fashion. We just need to be a bit cleverer about what we buy. Each season there are different trends, but this time the focus is on the clothes rather than the themes. Look for that one piece that will work with everything else you have in your closet. Accessorize it differently each time you go out, and you’ll look like you have a new outfit. My advice: look for the piece that will last a lifetime. Bejeweled pieces have been around for a long time, but this spring they return brighter, bolder, and classier. Not limited to evening gowns, this more elegant version of bling also found its way onto jackets, day dresses, and accessories. Ladies, you will go crazy for the gorgeous Single pleated boat-neck dress! (p.144) The incredible Roberto Cavalli clutch (p.144) is one item you’ll keep forever. A must-have this season is the Fendi white pant with back ruffles (p.142). It can be worn day and night.
Why not make a huge statement by wearing yellow and peach! Check out the so-sexy Christian Louboutin platform sandal (p.140), which, by the way, comes in a few other colors. If you try on the Donna Karan coral dress (p.141) you will not be able to take it off. It’s so soft and yet so comfortable that you could sleep in it. (But that would not be right!)
24 GENLUX SPRing / 2009
I guarantee you’ll find something to fall in love with in this issue. One of my favorite things this spring is the jewelry. There’s one item I simply adore, and fell head-over-heels for when I laid eyes on it. It’s the exquisite Aquamarine Marquesa cocktail ring from Harry Winston (p. 32). Spring is finally here. Go out there, be bold and fabulous, but most important, be toi!
